Help[Opinions] Re: Anoushka
in reply to a message by Skye x
Anoushka ("AH-noosh-ka") is already a nn, for Anna, in Russian. In fact, it's even more diminutive than their usual nn for Anna, Anya. Just don't use the nn Anka ("AHN-ka"). I was taught that that is what you call Anna when you are not happy with her. (Although that was a long time ago. I'd check with a native speaker on that if I were you.)
I prefer Anushka, since that's closest to the transliterated form.
Anushka is not going to be the easiest name to live with outside of a Slavic community. But then again, I'd name a dd Niamh, so who am I to deny you a beloved name? Have you thought about Anna, nn Anushka?
